The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Health, from the spiritual point of view, does not necessarily mean a strong body; health means a body sound in all its aspects. The standard of normal health is different for a mystic from what a scientist today thinks it to be. To the scientist the emotional side of man is not of interest; if the body is perfect according to his idea, he thinks man is healthy. But from a mystical point of view, if a man is strong bodily but his emotional nature is buried beneath, he is not healthy; there is something wrong with him. Therefore, a physician will find many not in proper health, but a mystic will find still more not in proper health. The person who is healthy to the physician's point of view is not necessarily healthy before the view of a mystic.
